Shout-out to the people behind Carta Volta! This map is so helpful to get the most out of your citytrip. I generally spend way too much time searching for a nice place for dinner or lunch, but this map made it so much easier. I will definitely use it again in the future!

Very easy for last minute city trips, you can just enjoy local bars and avoid the tourist traps, without hours of research. Looking forward to their new maps 👌

Handy map of Ghent with nice places. Ideal if you want to discover a city without having to scroll endlessly on social media to find hotspots. The purchase is also very smooth so you can use the online map immediately.

A really fun way to discover a city's hidden gems. We weren't familiar with Mechelen that well, and Carla Volta was a huge help!

 

👋 Meet the Founders

We're Amandine and Angelo, a travel-loving duo with wildly different approaches to exploring cities. One of us dives deep into blogs and TikToks to plan everything down to the last pin and photo spot. The other wanders by instinct and follows the vibes to see where the streets lead.

But we have to admit we've lost count of how often we ended up somewhere overpriced, overcrowded or overrated. Even after hours of research! And that frustration turned into inspiration... It struck us that without exception the best spots in a city are always known by the people who live there.

That's why we created Carta Volta. To make exploring cities easier, richer, and more real. Think of handpicked, authentic hotspots, not sponsored content. The good (hidden) stuff locals love on a simple, mobile-friendly map.
